LATEST' NEWS F W CIBCULATE PETITION mam; ISSEHIII FROffTST.TODAY Unexpected Increase in Ar : rivals Brings Congestion and ' Prices Tumble to 30 Cents a v Dozen. A severe UTeak was shown In egg mar. kct prices along Kront street today. .BeCt'lpta of eggs along the streot thl .-, morning were the hcavleat of the pr?

The a-ueaa wn right, for tj egg mar ket struck tOc with a single hound thla morning. Indications are that lower prices will prevail within the next day or so unless there la a radical change ". In the situation. Portland Highest Primary Market. Portland la today the highest primary market for eggs in the United States. In California values are lower than here for the same grade of stock, while in the east valuea are materially lower. It Is stated that a local house which had a tin to offer eggs to a Bpokane concern, sent them an offer at 32c a doxen, re ceived back a letter stating that they could and were buying egga at Kansas points and after paying the express charges were able to land them, at bpo-kane-st a lower price than Portland was then quoting. With outnlde demand shut loff and ' with receipts here Increasing there was notning ior me iwai iriuo i uu uui to cut quotations. It is not likely that much of a fight will hereafter be put up by handlers of eastern stock, be cause moat of them have unloaded the greater portion of the surplus and there fore have little Interest toward creating an artificial value for the local product.

The glut of fish was complete and for awhile it was hard to sell the ar rivals at any price. . ' "There was only a small catch ef smelt in the Cowlits yesterday,'" says Otis U. Hayes, a prominent fisher of Kelso. "The river was crowded with boats and they forced the fish back into the Columbia. If the boats had allowed ' the fiah to get further up the Cowlltx they never , would have turned back. The present run is male fish, the female not having arrived as yet" It is stated that the Columbia river Ms full of smelt at thla time, but the low price makes fishing impossible, for gillnetters will not venture out . . POULTRY PRICES IN y A STRONG POSITION Instead of showing weakness and lower prices. It is now quite possible that the market for chickens and, In ' fact, all poultry, will go to a new high record In the near future. . With the beginning of the laying sea eon, poultry men will not send their chickens to market and with the pres ent scarcity, this would bring forth a higher price. The only thing that the ' local market has to fear ia the Importa tion of heavy supplies of dressed poul try from the east Ducks and geese are in especial heavy demand from the Chinese at this time.

New York. Feb. Wall atreet re covered it nerve after the - opening of the stock market, patted Itself on the back and advanced prices, then became frightened at the last few minutes of the trade and panic atricken rushed to unload whatever securities It : could. Therefore the closing of the market was generally lower, . Onenlnr nrlcea for atocka were a trifle weak, but this loss waa loon re covered and most issues were selling at a higher price than yesterday when the trade took fright and began to pour great blocks ot stocks on an un willing market. The big Interests were the ones prin cipally affected by the extreme weak ness toward the closing hour. Amal gamated Copper gathered in a loss of nearly 2 points from yesterday's price. American Smelter lost a point and Ana conda Mining point. Weakness In the railroads was start ed by the renewal of rumors that St Paul intended to borrow enough money to pay ita dividend. St Paul has bor rowed considerable during the past two years and therefore the trade did not take kindly to the reports that art now coming forward. Union Pacific continues to be the tar get of the bear forces who are Play ing aaalnst the railroads and selllna- of heavy blocks' this afternoon put that security 1 points lower. steel corporation shares were weak and lost from to point. some of the railroads recovered a portion of yesterday's decline. Louis ville t Nashville gained a point and Rock Island common 1 points. South ern Paclllc closed a fraction higher and Erie and Great Northern i-acxi a half point. The stagnation in the bond market, despite the ease of money and attrac tiveness of various issues has been the subject of adverse romment. Improve ment In the demand for good bond is sues will bo necessary before the stock market can enjoy much of a recovery but at present there are no indications of a better, demand. , Summary of Wall Street.
